<h1>Advanced Search</h1>

<p>Advanced search will allow you to query the entire database of stories
and comments to find what your looking for.&nbsp; When conducting a query,
at least one field must be selected. The query fields are:</p>

<table border="1" width="100%">
<tr bgcolor="#000000">
<td><font color="#FFFFFF">Field</font></td>

<td>
<center><font color="#FFFFFF">Required</font></center>
</td>

<td><font color="#FFFFFF">Description</font></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>Key Words</td>

<td>
<center>No</center>
</td>

<td>These are the key works you wish to search for, an example would be
"Free" or "Fun" (without the quotes)<br>
From the drop-down menu, you can select if search results should contain the
exact phrase (exactly as you entered it), all of the words, or any of the words.</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>Date</td>

<td>
<center>No</center>
</td>

<td>Date range to search on.&nbsp; Enter the start date and end date for
your search</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>Topic</td>

<td>
<center>No</center>
</td>

<td>Select the topic you wish to search on from the drop down list</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>Type</td>

<td>
<center>No</center>
</td>

<td>Select the type of the search.&nbsp; Your options are "All", which searches
through all the searchable content of the site, or you can restrict your
search to only one of "Stories", "Comments" as well as one
of the installed plugins (e.g. "Static Pages").</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>Author</td>

<td>
<center>No</center>
